In fact, in October of last year, in the case of ‘Growing Berserkers’, an idle RPG that started official service at Cook Apps and reached the top spot in the Google Play Store, client developers, and planners from the 1st class of the Super Rookie Challenge were put in as the main developers of the game. This is one of the active examples.
In the case of raising a berserker, it started as a one-person development, and as a result of predicting the growth potential of the project in-house, it was officially incorporated into a regular project. Talented people who completed the Super Rookie Challenge joined the development team and made full use of their accumulated experience to enhance the overall game quality of the project.
